Question details
In the tender it is not fully clear how many systems/UAV are needed to fulfil the requirement.
The total amount of systems coming from the sum of Type A and Type B requirement is 19 RPAS but it is not clear if the number is related to the air vehicles or to the systems. Could you please clarify if 19 is the total number of the birds or the total number of the systems?
